Posted by Simguy on 7/12/2001, 6:58 pm
Before: Landry coming in off a tougher-than-expected romp over former Miss Canada April Telek, knows she can’t afford to bring anything less than her best to this defence. Banks filling out nicely—doesn’t have that pipe-cleaner model look any longer—she’s a true big woman for this fight. Landry a better technician, better combination puncher, more compact delivery, but for once she’s facing a girl who can match her power, at least from the right side, and Banks brings rangy athleticism rarely seen north of lightweight. Ali in gold bikini, Banks in purple cami-strap sports bra, leopard print bikini bottoms.
During R1: Ali getting a dose of Tyra’s super-model reach early—Banks outjabbing the pageant princess laying a tree-trunk stick onto Ali’s face and keeping her well outside. 30 seconds in, Tyra pumps the jab, unfurls what looks like a routine right cross, but it lands SOLID on the chin. BIG knee bend Landry—she stumbles away stunned by the blow, but has the presence of mind to keep her guard up, blocking punches as she collects her wits. Nice effort by Ali to regroup, moving to her right, turning an overanxious Banks who gets a little wide during her follow up—sharp punching Landry able to pick her up with straight licks in between to escape the round intact.
R2: Tyra’s body language supremely confident—she’s striding in on Ali, spearing that jab, slinging in the right hand over top and Landry just can’t get out of the way. Ali not used to getting out-jabbed, but it’s happening—Tyra’s left thudding repeatedly upside the champ’s head and spoiling Landry’s aim offensively. Banks also razor sharp with the right mitt—lanky, crashing delivery seems like it shouldn’t land, but she’s getting there often, bashing Ali’s head to the side and putting the champ wobbly butt by the final minute. Landry stumbling, looking to clinch, walks into a looping left uppercut from Banks that stops the brunette in her tracks, sets her up for another BOOMING right hand on the face that sends Ali reeling. Landry spilling to the ropes, busted up in the mouth, eyes wide—she’s getting ROCKED though 2.
R3: Tyra just keep executing! Landry trying to stop to her right around her jab, but Banks is getting there first and harder. Tyra’s heavy left slamming into Ali’s delicious jugs or banging back the face. Landry’s getting stunned by the jab and she’s eating right hands as a result s Banks continues to beat a two fisted tune on the champ’s face. Final minute—Ali breaking down on the retreat—Banks reaches out with yet another lanky one-two, pounding Landry hard upside the head to send her sideways into the ropes. Ali pushing back weak with both hands and TYRA TUNES HER UP! Slinging, whip action lefts and rights POUND away on Ali’s roughed up face—Landry beaten senseless at the bell as Banks is pushed back by the ref—model taunting it up as a ruined champion struggles to comprehend what’s happening.
R4: When the last time you saw Ali Landry frustrated, punished and outBOXED for 4 straight rounds. Tyra puts the points in her pocket this round with rangy panache—lifting an insolent jab off her hip and placing it hard against the chest and face of her beleaguered foe. Ali trying to counter with ragged right hands—Banks has her way from outside, A dejected Ali Landry slumps in her corner as her people go to work—it’s time for Plan B.
R5: Landry looking to close, work the body, and has herself some moments early on as Banks reaches around the champ’s shoulders, allows Landry to get off to the belly. Midway through, Banks pulls Ali’s head down and around, spinning the champ off balance as the ref jumps in for a warning. Landry straightens and Banks drills in a lunging cheap shot on the break, nailing the unsuspecting brunette on the cheek and driving her ropeside. Banks working on a hurt Ali Landry AGAIN—squaring up and laying down brutal long-limbed barrage of licking punches to the sides and jawline—Tyra flailing away with Trinidad lefts and rights, generating savage power with her long lines. Ali finishes up in her corner, cut over the left eye, stupid from punishment—she’s soaking up the worst beating of her career to this point.
R6: Ali Landry answers the bell like a champion,. Refusing to quit, putting up her dukes, tucking her chin and bulling her way inside to work. Banks with the bad model’s habit of reaching around a girl’s back rather than punching inside—Ali able to fight off Banks’ chest, bounce hard leather off the long torso and get to the chin with uppercuts as Tyra leans forward. BANKS IS HURT! Accumulation of clubbing punches has Banks wobbly butt at the minute mark and she continues to drape herself up high on Ali without tying up. Landry keeping her punches short—all hips and shoulders as she bashes at the ribcage underneath Tyra’s arms, using the left occasionally to push for punching room. BANKS GOES DOWN! Heartstopping bombardment to the midriff finally puts dazed Tyra B on one knee—SHE’S all hurt, sucking wind and looking shaky as she takes 8. Brutal final minute from Landry as she walks Banks to the ropes and starts to break her down, head on Tyra’s chest, methodical, jerking blows to the tender midsection and clipping uppercuts on the chin have Banks in a bad way at the bell.
R7: Banks with mouth pouting open, fends Ali off with the jab for a minute, but Landry walks her down, her left arm up shop and gets back to work on that waist, BANGING body blows—Landry just getting her weight onto Tyra, riding her left arm on Banks’ hip and hammering away with short right and firearms to the belly and ribs soon has Tyra sobbing in pain at the ropes. Grim shutout for Landry as she batters a swooning challenger into a neutral corner—Tyra looking very sleepy as she clutches uselessly around Ali’s neck, soaking up abuse.
R8: Ali marching in—Tyra on quaking legs, backs awkwardly up and Landry LIGHTS her up with a short overhand right on the chin, falling in with the supermodel as Banks slouches forward all but one. Pumping, tired action from Landry as she reefs at Tyra’s pain-wracked belly—Banks worked into the ropes once again, but she’s slugging back mindlessly now, finally moving her hands inside. Senselessly brawling to the bell—girls clobbering each other into stupor, laying in open mouthed, pushing off sweatly, just to land one more haymaker—ref pries ‘em apart as crowd noise drowns out the bell.
R9: OH THE JAB! Tyra re-establishes the stick, picking up and exhausted Ali as Landry tries to get back on top. Landry too hurt to get out of the way—she’s getting spanked, blinking as she stands straight up—Tyra slouching painfully to her left starts to steer the champ. Landry committing to straight right hands to the body holds her own, but down the stretch, she pulls back very slowly after plowing the right and Tyra bends into a GORGEOUS right hand counter—Landry’s head swivels sick, she bends forward then collapses to her back as the crowd goes wild. Ali Landry. Reaches for the lights, momentarily out, then struggles to beat the as Tyr nods and pounds her chest, Ali beats it—but she’s badly hobbled—Tyra walking in with her left at her side, right at her hip—she just whiplashes Landry with lanky right hands, beating the champ into a corner and leaving her trembling at the bell.
R10: TOE TO TOE! Ali manage to get shoulder to shoulder with Tyra and the two beauties trade clobbering right hands from the stone-age. Heartless bashing connects—one girl gets hurt—she fall into the other’s arms—they waltz a moment, then reset to let fly again. Agonizing stop and go action—girls stumbling around the ring in constant contact, but down the stretch, Tyra Banks wants it more, Ali can’t punch any longer—she holds Tyra lightly around the waist, taking hard right hands and right elbows on the teeth as Banks beats her girl relentlessly, Landry soaks it up to the bell, beaten unrecognizable and Banks can’t stop the tears as she lifts her mitts in anticipation. Comes back UD10 for the winner and NEW welterweight champion—Tyra Banks!
After: Shellshocked Ali Landry barely aware if the announcement—she hasn’t been this badly cudgeled since Charlize Theron took her apart early in the brunette’s professional development Banks eagerly scoops the groggy ex-champ up around the waist and pulls her for a devastating walk of shame—one of the worst moments of Ali Landry’s glorious career. Banks just too lanky and heavy handed—getting behind sensational right hands all night long—Landry senseless as early as the 3rd round, kept trudging on heart alone to the finish.
